2、ill always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 4 on the cool 5 .

3、ays always get me 8 . But one day, the sound of a violin 9 into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin.I had 11 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened q

4、uietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 12 there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The aut

6、like violin.” she said. “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.Suddenly, a 17 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 18 me.” she said

7、.“In fact, it was your playing 19 gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”The girl smiled, and so did I.I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure

8、(身影) of the girl. She is like a 20 so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful. 1. A. with B. for C. against D. to2.

14、he heard his wife calling him again.“I'm 14 again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.Hearing this, he started running as 15 as he could towards the doctor's. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 16 around.The doctor put his sleepy head out o

19、riter Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”Ridley calls himself a rational optimistrational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be b

20、oth unavoidable and good. And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered t

21、hrough years of research.Here's how he explains his views.1 ) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious foo

22、d, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better-off we'll be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we

23、are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needsfood, clothing, fuel and shelterhave grown  a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work. In the 1880s t

24、he same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it's half second.3 ) Let's not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating (減輕) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.  A child t

25、hat dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mil

26、d, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血帶) around our necks.1. What is the theme of Ridley's most recent book?  A. Weakness of human nature. B. Concern about climate change.  C. Importance of practical thinki

27、ng.  D. Optimism about human progress.2. How does Ridley look at shopping?  A. It encourages the creation of things.  B. It results in shortage of goods.  C. It demands more fossil fuels.  D. It causes a poverty problem.3. The candle and lamp example is used to show that _.&

28、#160; A. oil lamps give off more light than candles  B. shortening working time brings about a happier life  C. advanced technology helps to produce better candles D. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods4. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?  A. Cutting

29、 carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.  B. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.  C. People's health is closely related to climate change.  D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.（二）In business, there's a speed difference: It's the differenc

30、e between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive(競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的) strategy(策略) and how fast the company actually moves.The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for

31、ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain-an-edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track.What's more, the firms that “slowed down to spee

32、d up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “sl

33、ower” and “faster” mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value)Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that

34、often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion.They encouraged new ways of thinking.And they allowed time to lo

35、ok back and learn.By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kin

36、d of leadership.Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.That kind of strategy must come from the top.1What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?    AIncrease the

37、speed.     BGet an advantage.    CReach the limit.           DSet a goal.2The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means _.    Aspending more time and performing worse   

38、 Bspending more time and performing better    Cspending less time and performing worse    Dspending less time and performing better3What can we learn from the text?    AHow fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.    BHow competitive a f

39、irm is depends on what it produces.    CFirms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.    DFirms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.4Which could be the best title for the text?    AImprove quality?

40、 Serve better.    BDeliver value? Plough ahead.    CReduce time? Move faster.    DNeed speed? Slow down. （三）Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill（友好）between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to l

41、ive together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred（仇恨）. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage

42、 international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its secondplace medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had

43、 been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match as, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair .Their manager was in a rage when he said:“ This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the Int

44、ernational Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（暫停） of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their co

45、ntest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the ba

46、sket. It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long a

47、s sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in nonnational terms, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism（愛國主義）.

48、1.According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _.A. created goodwill between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. hardly showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred2.What did the manager mean by saying,“.Hockey and the International Hockey F

49、ederation are finished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are 60th ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.3.The basketball example implied that

50、_.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incidentB. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. The American team was right in receiving the silver medals4.The author gives the two examples in paragraph 2 and 3 to show _.A. how fal

51、se national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games5.What conclusion can be drawn from the pass

52、age?A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game. D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.（四）There are two major

53、parties in Britain today,the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, which have been in power by turns since 1945.The twoparty system of Britain was formed in the course of the development of the capitalist state and the political parties.In order to strengthen the state machine,the British bourgeo

54、isie（資產(chǎn)階級(jí)） have let it come into being and exist in one form or another form since the 17th century. P.S.Tregidgo once said:“The more parties there are,the less likely it is that any one of them will be strong enough in Parliament（議會(huì)）to outvote all the others;but when there are only two, one of them

55、 is sure to have a majority of seats.This helps to ensure a strong and stable government.”This may be the reason why the British have the two party system.The division into two parties grew out the establishment of a Protestant Church of England in the 16th century.Because of a purely religious diff

56、erence of opinion,the Puritans were separated from the broad body of the Anglican Church. The non-Puritan Anglicans were on the side of the King and Church,and their supporters were called by their opponents “Tories.”The Puritans were for Parliament and trade, and their supporters were called by the

57、 “Tories”“Whigs”.The Tories and the Whigs were in power by turns for a long time.In 1833,the Tory party split into two and its name was changed to Conservative.In the 1860s the Whigs became Liberals.From that time on,the Liberals and the Conservatives were in office by turns until 1922.The policies they put into effect were sometimes different, but they were both controlled by
